2. Blood

3. Components of Blood Blood is actually made up of several things.
Red Blood Cells
White Blood Cells
Plasma
Platelets

4. Your Blood is made of Plasma Liquid part of blood
Pale yellow mixture of water, proteins and salts
Red Blood Cell
They carry oxygen to all parts of the body.
Remove Carbon Dioxide.
Remove other wastes.

7. Blood Types Not all blood is the same.
Structures on the surface of blood can differ because of your genetic makeup.
Currently Scientists have grouped these structures into 8 different blood types.

Blood Transfusion
Recent research suggests that this blood compatibility chart may change in the future as our understanding of blood improves.
** NOTE: Recent Blood research indicates that where, at one time, a person with type O negative Blood was considered to be a 'universal donor,' this may no longer be correct, because of a better understanding of the complex issues of immune reactions related to incompatible donor Blood cells.

10. Blood Incompatibility
When incompatibility blood mixes it clumps together, this can be fatal!

11. Blood Vessels

12. 3 Major Parts of the Circulatory system
Blood Vessels – routes for blood to travel
Heart – pumps or pushes blood through body
Blood – carries oxygen and nutrients through the body

13. Blood Vessels - Overview
Your body resembles a large roadmap, There are “routes” or Blood vessels that take you blood to the heart and the rest of your body.
There are 3 types of blood vessels:
Arteries
Capillaries
Veins

14. Blood Vessels - Detail
Arteries: The largest and thickest of the blood vessels.
Carry blood away from the heart to all the cells in the body.
Capillaries: the smallest blood vessels.
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place in capillaries.
Bring blood to all tissue in the body.
Veins: Carry blood back to the heart.

15. Clogged Blood Vessels
If you eat too much fatty foods this is what happens to your blood vessels!
Fat deposits in a blood vessel.
A clogged blood vessel

16. Heart Attack
When the blood vessels of the heart are blocked it can cause a heart attack!

17. Causes of blocked blood vessels
High blood cholesterol (too much fat)
Smoking
Physical activity
Obesity
Diabetes
Stress and anger
Obesity

18. The Heart

19. The Heart The heart is a vital organ that basically serves as a pump.
The heart pumps blood around the body.
To do this the heart is made up of a special kind of muscle tissue.
This muscle tissue allows the heart to beat constantly.

20. Blood Flow - Basic

21. Blood Flow – Advanced Order of Blood Flow Superior Vena Cava

Tricuspid Valve
Right Ventricle

22. Order of blood flow
Without oxygen - veins
With oxygen - arteries
